Session: Building and Maintaining Public Trust in Data Sharing
In order to build and maintain trust related to data sharing, we need to engage with and listen to members of the public AND act on what we hear. This talk will present the findings of qualitative research studies that describe the conditions under which members of the public supported the use of health data for R&D. The talk will conclude with examples of activities that use advice from the members of the public to increase the transparency and trustworthiness data sharing and data use.
